This is the album cover for 'Day & Age' by The Killers. It looks almost aboriginal in style due to the circles which the picture is broken into. The band name is shown clearly at the centre of the album cover, this is a big selling point, as The Killers are a very well known band. The album art is by an artist named Paul Normansell, who also created images, in the same style as the album cover, of the band members, which can be found inside the disk. Purple is an unusual colour to see on an album, so this would help it stand out on shelves, as would the 'cracked effect' which the album art has. This album cover also won Rolling Stone's 'Best Album Art of 2008' award. This would also give the album more publicity.
